The following question, consist of two words each that have a certain relationship to each other, followed by four lettered pairs of words. Select the lettered pair that has the same relationship as the original pair of words: Hill : Mountain :: ? : Pain

The answer is C. Discomfort.

A hill is a smaller landform than a mountain, and discomfort is a milder form of pain. Both hills and discomfort can be unpleasant, but they are

not as severe as mountains and pain.

A fear is an emotion that is caused by a sense of danger or threat.

A headache is a pain in the head. Distress is a state of great anxiety or sorrow.

While all of these words can be unpleasant, they do not have the same relationship to each other as hill and mountain do.
